Incognito multi-room 3

Incognito multi-room

The IIncognito mmulti-rroom ssystem iis aa wwhole-hhouse eentertainment

system ccapable oof ddistributing aaudio aand vvideo* tthroughout aa hhome.

The system consists of KP10 keypads with built-in amplifiers

connected to a central AH10 audio hub unit by Cat-5/5e cable.

Source components (CD players, DVD players etc) from almost any

manufacturer can be used and are connected to the AH10 hub unit

by standard stereo RCA/phono leads. Sources connected to the

central hub are distributed to the remote rooms (throughout the

guide referred to as main and sub-zones), so that different rooms

may listen to different things at the same time.

The KP10 keypads are mounted in-the-wall in standard back-boxes

and connected to in-wall, in-ceiling or conventional speakers with

standard speaker cable. The keypads do not require local power and

are powered via the cable from the hub.

The AH10 hub and KP10 keypad utilize A-BUS

TM

technology, and can

be switched between Incognito A-BUS or standard A-BUS mode

(switches located on the underside of the AH10 and rear of KP10

respectively). A-BUS is a standard which provides compatibility

between systems from various manufacturers. When using Incognito

A-BUS mode and our own keypads, some extra features are possible

such as changing sources from the keypad itself and the fitment of

local input modules. When used with other A-BUS keypads it should

be set to standard A-BUS mode or they will not work.

If video distribution is required a VH10 video switcher can be added

which sends video over RG6/CT100 co-axial cable to each room

required. Again, different rooms can watch different things at the

same time.

One AH10 hub supports four main-zones and four sub-zones (eight

rooms in total). Each sub-zone output is tied to a main zone output

and always receives the same source as its main zone. Sub-zones

are used for instances such as en-suite bathrooms (the bedroom

being a main zone) where it is desired to to have an area that

automatically follows the same source as another but can be

independently turned on and off, has individual bass and treble etc.

Up to four AH10 (and VH10 where fitted) can be chained for a

system maximum of 16 main zones plus 16 sub-zones.

Enjoy!

Local ssource cconnections

The LM10 Local Input Module (LIM) is an optional in-wall module

that allows the user to add additional local sources to those

distributed by the AH10. The local source may only be heard in the

room where it is connected and the corresponding sub-zone (if

connected) and is not distributed to other rooms. LM10s can be

fitted in as many rooms as are desired. The LM10 connects between

the audio hub and a KP10 amplified control module using Cat-5/5e

wiring.

Each main zone can support two LM10s, giving you the option of

listening to one or two local sources (eg. Playstation, MP3 player).

Each local source can be controlled through the Incognito remote

and/or keypad.

Full details of installation, connection, operation and special

features can be found in the guide that accompanies the LM10

module.

Note:

The AH10 and KP10s must be in Incognito A-BUS mode in

order to use an LM10.

1. Using a single Cat-5e cable, connect the AS10-A to the

AH10/VH10 via an RJ45 plug at the AH10, and the eight-way

colour-coded punch down connection at the AS10-A.

The RJ45 hub connection should be wired to EIA/TIA568A

standard as shown in the wiring guide on page 6.

The Cat-5 connection from AH10 to the AS10-A should not

exceed 30m/100 ft.

2. The AS10-A is then connected to the AS10-P using either Cat-5e

cable terminated at eight-way colour-coded punch down connec-

tions (all eight cores must be connected) or using a run of

standard speaker cable.

Only one method of connection between the active and passive

speaker is necessary.

Full details of installation, connection, operation and special features

can be found in the guide that accompanies the AS10 speakers.

Should extra amplification power, or, an active subwoofer be required,

a line level pre-amp output is provided on the back of the KP10.

Using high-quality audio interconnect cable, an external power

amplifier may be connected to the KP10 pre-amp output screw

terminals.

A fader function on the KP10 can be used to adjust the level

between the speakers connected to the KP10 and the external

amplifier/active subwoofer, so that the balance between the two

can be adjusted.

Linking UUnits

For large installations which require more than four main zones and

four sub-zones, an AH10

‘

linking’ facility is provided. Units are linked

via a Cat-5e patch cable to the ‘Hub Link’ in and out sockets on the

top right hand corner of each AH10.

In order to share audio input sources with the first AH10, the second

may be joined using Incognito CK10 audio couplers (see diagram).

These double-ended phono plugs simply connect the ‘Loop out’

sockets of the first AH10, to the ‘Audio input’ sockets of the second,

allowing both to access the same sources and distribute them to all

available zones.

Up to four AH10s may be linked together in this way, providing audio

for a maximum of 16 main zones for the AH10, or 16 main zones

and 16 sub-zones for the AH10.

VH10 LLinking

Should video also be required in more than the four main zones and four

sub-zones provided by the VH10, then these units may also be linked.

Each VH10 must be connected to a corresponding AH10 via the Cat-5e

patch cable, in order to provide power and switching commands.

Video input sources may then be shared between both VH10 units

by using Incognito CK10 couplers (See diagram). These double-

ended phono plugs simply connect the ‘Loop out’ sockets of the first

VH10 to the ‘Video input’ sockets of the second, allowing both to

access the same sources and distribute them to all available zones.

Up to four VH10s may be linked together with the corresponding

four AH10s in this way, providing video for a maximum of 16 main

zones for the AH10.

PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM

When iinstalling yyour IIncognito mmulti-rroom eentertainment ssystem,

consideration sshould bbe ggiven tto ddetai

led aadvance pplanning. WWe

strongly ssuggest yyou rread tthis eentire mmanual bbefore ccommencing

any wwork.

AH10 AA-BBUS audio hhub

The AH10 is located alongside source components which means

you have two AH10 location options:

1. Locate AH10 and source components in any convenient discreet

location with adequate ventilation within the home (such as an

under-stair cupboard, service room or cabinet), or...

2. If it is desired to use the same sources for the Incognito system as

are being used by a conventional stereo or surround sound system

it is possible to route source equipment through the AH10 for

output through existing hi-fi or home cinema amplifiers whilst also

distributing them to the rest of your home via the Incognito system.

Should this be required, your existing audio source equipment

would be first connected to the AH10 and then routed from the six

loop out sockets on the AH10 to the amplifier/receiver in your

system via high quality audio interconnect cable terminated at each

end by phono/RCA plugs.

Similarly video source equipment may be connected to the VH10

and then routed from the six loop out sockets on the VH10 to the AV

receiver in a home cinema setup using phono/RCA cables designed

for video use.

For this configuration the AH10 should be located behind your

existing system.

It is suggested that you locate keypads:

••

138cm height from the floor finish (to centre

of keypad) or taking into account light switch

locations etc

••

25-35cm away from the outer edge of any

door frame or wall edge

••

Away from direct, bright sunlight which may

affect infra-red performance

AH10 location is critical

Incognito multi-room

Incognito multi-room 15

The AH10 is compact and can be mounted either horizontally, or

vertically, such as on a wall, and is powered by a dedicated power

supply (Incognito PS10).

Try to ensure that the AH10 and it’s source components are

powered from the same set of mains outlets.

VH10 video hhub

The VH10 video hub works in conjunction with the AH10 to provide

video signals to all connected zones, via RG6/CT100 co-axial

cabling. Up to six video input sources and a CCTV input may be

connected and distributed, with their corresponding audio signals

routed through the AH10 as one of its dedicated six inputs.

The VH10 may be mounted either horizontally or vertically in the

same manner as the AH10, and power is provided by the AH10 via a

Cat-5e patch cable, so no extra power supply or mains socket is required.

When deciding upon a location for the AH10 and VH10 units consid-

eration should be given to space constraints, and power points for

the source equipment and AH10, as well as integration into any

existing setups.

KP10 AA-BBUS kkeypad

Simple and intuitive control is provided by the KP10 A-BUS keypad.

Housed in a stylishly designed casing, the KP10 fits into any wall and

is available with different finishes to compliment various decorative

schemes. Control of your source equipment, volume, bass, treble and

other functions can be performed by the KP10.

Each KP10 may be used as a main zone or sub-zone controller, with

the only difference being that the sub-zone must listen to/watch the

same source as the main zone.

Should extra amplification power, or an active subwoofer be

required (to provide more bass), a line level pre-amp output is

provided on the back of the KP10.

AS10/ SS10 speakers

When placing the ceiling-mounted speakers, thought should be

given to positions which give the best desired sound coverage

throughout a room, while not interfering with existing or planned

light fittings or joists.

It is advisable to plan all aspects of installation in advance of work

beginning, preferably with the house/flat building schematics if available.

CCTV system cconnection

It is possible to connect a CCTV camera to your multi-room system.

Refer to the section on ‘Advanced system options’ for details.

Please note that extra cabling will be required in addition to that

explained in the installation notes.

AH10 AA-BBUS audio hhub

A-BUS is a standard that allows some compatibility between

different manufacturers A-BUS multi-room products. The AH10 can

be switched between Incognito A-BUS or standard A-BUS mode. The

Incognito A-BUS position is for use with our own Incognito KP10

keypad and gives extra functions. When used with other manufac-

turers A-BUS keypads it should be set to standard A-BUS or they will

not work. The switch is located on the rear of the AH10 (see below).

Fix to a hard surface such as a cupboard surface, not to carpet or a

soft-lined surface, as this will inhibit airflow through the unit. Do not

situate in close proximity to any installation which will produce

excessive electrical noise such as dimmer racks etc (these may

interfere with the unit). Situate within three metres of a power socket.

VH10 vvideo hhub

Locate in close proximity to the AH10 (maximum of five metres away).

Fix to a hard surface such as a cupboard surface, not to carpet or a

soft-lined surface, as this will inhibit airflow through the unit.

Do not situate in close proximity to any installation which will

produce excessive electrical noise such as dimmer racks etc; these

may interfere with the unit.

Wiring tto zzones

Run a Cat-5e cable from the AH10 to each wall control unit.

Fit a single-gang back box for each KP10.

Run two standard speaker cables from the KP10 to mounted

loudspeakers. If video is required, run CT100/RG6 high-quality co-

axial cable from the VH10 main zone connection either directly to

the video display, or to a wall-mounted panel fitted with a suitable

phono/RCA connector.

Cabling ttips

Cat5e cable should be run through the installation in electrical conduit,

either metal, non-metallic, rigid or intermediate, wherever possible.

Should conduit not be available or impractical, cabling running through

frames or beams must be a minimum of 25mm/1inch from the

nearest edge of that structure. If the frame or beam is metallic, then

the cable should be protected by a bush or grommet.

When routing cables around the installation, care must be taken to

prevent kinking and trapping. Any cable ties used must not be

tightened any more than is necessary to hold the cable in place.

Always re-check the colour code of the Cat5e cable connections to

ensure they are correct.

AS10/ SS10 in-cceiling sspeakers

Standard installation would specify AS10/SS10 ceiling mounted

speakers which are matched to the Incognito system for optimum

audio performance. However, virtually any customer-specified

speaker units may be used.

Where ceiling or wall-mounted speakers are used, care should be

taken to ensure that all building regulations are followed.

When mounting speakers flush to a ceiling or wall, ensure that

enough depth/clearance is available in the respective cavity. A

clearance of at least 80mm is necessary when mounting pairs of

AS10/SS10 speakers.

When deciding upon a ceiling or wall placement, care should be

taken to avoid joists, load bearing beams etc.

Before cutting ceiling loudspeaker holes it is suggested that the

area is tested for clearance by making an L-shaped probe from

strong wire (eg a coat hanger), drilling a small hole in the target area,

inserting the probe and slowly turning. Any obstructions will be

immediately obvious, so that the target area can be moved to a

more suitable position.

Also, locate loudspeakers taking into account location of furnishings

for optimal stereo reproduction.

Full details of installation, connection, operation and special

features can be found in the guide that accompanies the speakers.
